"Guo, what's the matter with you? Why have you been so distracted lately? Cao Zhongfa is in such a state, and you're still daydreaming!" Wu Quanen reprimanded Guo Pincheng without mercy, his eyes blazing with anger.

Hearing Wu Quanen's words, Guo Pincheng felt annoyed, yet he didn't show it and quickly said, "Brother Wu, I really was thinking about Cao Bin's issue. You all know that I'm not very capable, and it's only thanks to you, big brothers, that I get by. Now that Brother Cao's son has had this misfortune, I truly feel terrible."

"Really?" Wu Quanen snorted and said, "You'd better be. And that time when Ye Xiao hit Biner, you were there but didn't dare to say a word, are you even a man of Heng Zhiyuan? And you were so polite to Ling Hengyu's daughter at that time. What is she to you? Why are you sucking up to her?"

Being scolded by Wu Quanen, Guo Pincheng's face turned red with embarrassment, but even though Wu was angry, Guo didn't dare say a word back. He knew he couldn't.

At this point, Li Dexi looked at Wu Quanen and said, "Old Wu, let it be. Guo has always been rather slack, and you know what he's like."

"Hmph, personality, what personality? Show me a personality worth seeing!" Wu Quanen said furiously. Then he added, "Li, you stay. Guo, you can go out. I need some quiet!"

Hearing Wu Quanen's words, Guo Pincheng felt a rage boiling inside him, almost to the point of bursting his lungs with anger. So, he wants quiet, and that's why I have to leave? It was clear that he thought Guo Pincheng was unworthy of staying in this office.

"Brother Wu, Brother Li, you guys go ahead with your work; I have some things to deal with too!" Guo Pincheng said.

After speaking, Guo Pincheng stepped out. To the outside world, Guo Pincheng was a figure of some significance, one of the four titans of Hengzhiyuan Group, as rumored. However, because the shares he held were so meager, the other titans didn't take him seriously. Wu Quanen, Cao Zhongfa, and Li Dexi all held high-level positions in the company, while Guo Pincheng held only a nominal title as a deputy manager.

Exiting Wu Quanen's office, Guo Pincheng's anger was palpable. The saying goes, to succeed externally, one must first be secure internally. If those inside did not value him, who outside would?

Guo Pincheng slowly walked back to his own office, his heart set on revenge: Wu Quanen, Cao Zhongfa, Li Dexi, I will make you regret crossing me, Guo Pincheng.

Then, Guo Pincheng made a call to Guo Chuan. Clearly, he was telling Guo Chuan to find the right opportunity to contact Ye Xiao.

From the intelligence he had received, Ye Xiao was someone who could definitely help him achieve his goals. Now that Ye Xiao had common enemies with him, the enemy of one's enemy is a friend—this was an unchanging truth through the ages.

Around nine in the evening!

Xinxin Porridge House!

"Slow down, you're eating like you haven't had a meal in eight hundred years!" Wang Luoxin sat at a dining table, watching Ye Xiao wolf down his porridge and pancakes.

Indeed, it was Ye Xiao.

Though currently, Ye Xiao was officially under arrest and mandated to stay at the Guard Bureau, who was he? In the Guard Bureau, he moved in and out freely, with the understanding that as long as he was present for any legal summons by Heng Zhiyuan Group, it was fine. Otherwise, if Ye Xiao wanted, he could even rest in Yang Ming's office.

"I haven't eaten all evening, right up until now. That's like eight or nine hours without food. Tell me if that's not starving." Ye Xiao said, not looking up.

"But just a moment ago, you said you had something to tell me, and you still haven't said it!" Wang Luoxin said as she served Ye Xiao more porridge.

Ye Xiao took the century egg porridge Wang Luoxin passed to him and said, "This porridge is really good, and nutritious too."

"I'm asking you a question!" Wang Luoxin pressed.

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Call over all the members from the Seven-colored Lamp, then I'll tell you!"

"Oh? So secretive? You can't even tell me directly?" Wang Luoxin huffed.

Ye Xiao immediately laughed and said, "Even if I told you alone, it would be no use because you couldn't handle this matter by yourself. If you really want to know, I could give you a preview."

"Forget it, if you can't be bothered to tell, then I can't be bothered to listen." Wang Luoxin stood up after speaking and went to call the other members of the Seven-colored Lamp.

Soon, Cheng Yun, Huang Tian, Lu Liu, Qing Huo, Lan Xin, and Purple Flame followed their Sister Chi Yu as they came over.

"Brother Xiao, why have you come so late?" As soon as Huang Tian saw Ye Xiao, he immediately greeted Ye Xiao with a big grin!

Ye Xiao laughed heartily and said, "Coming over at this hour, am I not welcome?"

"Welcome? How could you not be welcome? Even if we weren't, our Sister would surely welcome you!" Huang Tian chuckled with a grin.

"What are you blabbing about? Looking for a beating, huh?" Wang Luoxin immediately glared at Huang Tian upon hearing his words.

Huang Tian chuckled sheepishly and dared not to continue.

Ye Xiao said, "Actually, I came here today to ask for help from everyone. I wonder if you all have the time."

"Brother Xiao, just tell us what it is. Within this year, we will absolutely follow your orders!" Huang Tian said with a smile.

"Are you the boss?" Wang Luoxin glared at Huang Tian again and said, "Are you in a position to make decisions for me now?"

Huang Tian quickly said, "Sister, of course you're the one who calls the shots. Anyway, when it comes to Brother Xiao's matters, you'll surely agree."

"Why would I agree? Just for that reason, I'm especially not going to agree!" Wang Luoxin immediately huffed.

Hearing this, Huang Tian smacked his lips, a bit taken aback.

Cheng Yun softly laughed and said to Huang Tian, "Shut your mouth. Why do you love to talk so much? Were you a gossip in your past life? Brother Xiao, whatever it is, let everyone hear it."

"I know the Seven-colored Lamp is an assassin organization, but I wonder, what's your stance towards those who attempt to sabotage Yan Country!" Ye Xiao was still eating his porridge and didn't feel the slightest bit troubled by Wang Luoxin's words.

"Those who offend the majesty of Yan Country, though they be far away, will be punished!" Cheng Yun stated indifferently.

Upon hearing Cheng Yun's words, Ye Xiao immediately laughed heartily and said, "What a saying, 'will be punished though they be far away!' However, those offending our country's majesty this time aren't far at all. They're right in Minghai City, and now there's an opportunity to execute punishment. I wonder if you're willing to join me."

Upon hearing this, Wang Luoxin spoke up.

"Are you talking about the Mountain Wolf Group from Minghai City?"

Ye Xiao looked up at Wang Luoxin and said, "You know about the Mountain Wolf Group?"

Wang Luoxin said, "After all, the Seven-colored Lamp is an assassin organization, so we do have some knowledge about the forces within Minghai City. I only know of the Mountain Wolf Group's existence but not their whereabouts."
